What's on in London

  • Easy-to-use guide

    London's bursting at the seams with things to do, but where do you start? Time Out is your one-stop curator of the best of what's on in the capital. Highlighting the coming week's activities, we've cleverly segmented all our content into specific sections so you can find the kind of thing you're looking for at a glance, like events that have appeal to kids, new art exhibitions, or gay and lesbian-specific listings.

  • Detailed reviews

    We give you detailed reviews by our experts in each section, critiquing a handful of the latest things to hit London so you know what to check out and what to avoid.

  • Critic's choices

    We also include recommendations and lists of critics' choices to help you pick out the best events, art exhibitions, kids' activities, comedy shows, plays, films, cabaret and dance. We also highlight all free events on offer for those who are pinching the pennies.

Going out in London

  • Wide variety of listings

    London's a great place to eat (or drink) out, and Time Out will help you find the pick of London's best and newest restaurants, bars, gastropubs and cafes. From lavish celebrity chef ventures to little-known pop-up supper clubs, nothing is out of bounds for our critics.

  • Anonymous reviews

    What's more, unlike a lot of other publications, all our reviews are conducted anonymously by our experts who pay for their own meals and drinks, to guarantee we're giving you a completely honest and impartial critique. In other words, you can trust us.

  • Music listings

    If you fancy something a bit more lively than a bite to eat or a few drinks, then get the skinny from our music and clubbing pages where you'll find comprehensive listings, prices and recommended line ups to suit all tastes from dubstep to death metal, plus interviews with upcoming artists, bands and DJs.

Other stuff in London

  • Other stuff?

    We couldn't find a way to describe the many other things that Time Out magazine includes every week - so we've settled for Other Stuff. Stuff like our news pages (giving readers a unique perspective on the stories hitting the London headlines that week), or our award-winning columnists, or our TV and radio listings section, saving you from ever having to wrestle with Teletext again.

  • Travel, books, fashion

    Need to get away on a holiday? You need our travel pages, where you can peruse a hand-picked selection of far-flung and nearby destinations. Want to know what book to read on the tube to impress your fellow travellers? The book section is for you. Like fashion? Then you'll love our listings of the best boutiques, sample sales, markets and new shop openings.

  • Feature writers and celebrity interviews

    Our feature writers cover all type of weird and wonderful topics, from politics to sex, all with an emphasis on London and its residents. Thanks to our world-renowned reputation, we get access to some of the hottest actors, musicians and celebrities for our interview pages, too.
